There are a bunch of computer labs all around campus. Some labs, like the ones in the Shields Library, are managed by CLM — meaning any UCD student can use them (they require a login/password). There are other labs that require you to be a member of a certain department or group, such as the ones in Kerr Hall.

CLM's labs are divided into three types of labs: Open Access (never have classes scheduled in them), Classroom Labs (classes are scheduled here, but the room is open to students when classes are not using them), and Media Labs (contain media equipment and software).

Open Access Labs

163 Shields - Beginning Summer 2010, 163 Shields has turned into the "Center for Accessible Technology". The Center for Accessible Technology (CAT) in 163 Shields brings together in a centralized area resources for faculty, students, and staff with disabilities that used to be scattered across campus. There are a variety of state-of-the-art accessible hardware (e.g., large-screen adjustable height monitors), software (e.g., screen reading, dictation software), and furnishings (e.g., adjustable chairs, tables) available. There are also 13 AV viewing stations.

15 Olson print station - drop in 10 minute limit stations, usually used for quick printing. All stations are 'stand-up' stations, that is, no chairs.

Classroom Labs

73, 75, and 93 Hutchison Hall - Three PC classrooms across the hall from the open access room 78. Room 93 Hutchison has a few scanners and the Adobe suite of software.

2020 and 2060 Sciences Laboratory Building- 41 Dell machines, located on the second floor of the building. To open 2060, CLM partnered with the College of Biological Sciences to outfit and mange the 37 seat computer room. While there may be an occasional class, 2060 SciLab will primarily be open access.

241, 247, 27, 21, 1 Olson - 241 and 247 (MacBook laptop room) are only open for classes, while 27, 21 and 1 are sometimes open for open access. All have Macintosh computers.

Media Labs

2101 Student Community Center - Replaces the Hart Lab. Contains all sorts of fun stuff, including everything you need to do video editing, a sound room with a keyboard, a mic, and mixing equipment, flatbed scanners, document scanners, color printing and much, much more. The Media Lab is located in the left half of 2101 SCC. This is the equipment that was once in Meyer then moved to Hart in Summer 2010.

Physics in Room 106 is a Linux lab. You can get an account for the Linux lab by inquiring at the Physics Office on the second floor of the building. You'll have to sign your life away in the the PhysNet Computing Policy to get an account.

Informatics Center - Assorted GIS, Remote Sensing, Statistics and Bioinformatics software managed by http://ic.ucdavis.edu/, Windows 7 machines, door keycode and computer account and password change quarterly, open to students with a class in either room.

Other Labs

Design Department Computer Lab - second floor of Cruess Hall. Student logon required. Computers are equipped with Adobe creative suite and other software, not unlike IET media lab computers. There are several large printers which you can pay to use, if you don't want to head downtown to a print shop like Copy Land. When a Design class is working on digital projects, half the lab is closed for them.

The Davis Learning Center in the Olson basement has a pretty well-appointed computer lab and a printer that you can use in a pinch, even though they say that it's for foreign-language papers only. As of Fall 2012, a UCD campus login is required. Printing rates are the same as in the IET computer rooms.
